Love all the extra room!

The car is perfect for me! Great price & good gas mileage. Been extremely happy with the car & South Pointe Honda. Love that I can fold the seats & haul even a 6ft ladder.

Never fails.Always ready to go.Starts instanly.

I would buy it again. Great value. It is nimble. Turns on a dime. Very good braking system. It is a gem. What more can you say about a little car that could.

Great little car!

Great little car. I’ve always loved little hatchbacks. This one has the biggest trunk space out of any hatchback I’ve owned. Gas mileage is great; the exterior and interior are both very attractive.

Big car feel with a small profile

I work in an industry needing to haul a lot of gear, but I lack the budget of an SUV. The Fit gives you all of the storage and hauling capacity of truck with a small elegant package and at an affordable price. Reliable and ready to go

Watch out for transmission issues after 80,000 mil

I have always loved Honda's. This would be the first time that I've ever witnessed the transmission dying on me. When the mechanics drained the fluid there were broken metal pieces inside. Now Im heating more people were having this problem. Why isn't there a recall to check it?

Wonderful Purchase

This car meets all of my needs. While it is considered a compact car, it has plenty of leg room in the front and the back as well as lots of space in the trunk area. It handles well and is a pleasure to drive!

Little Car, Big Heart

This is a great little car that has served us well! Very sleek and stylish exterior (ours is Milano Red). Surprising amount of cargo room with the seats folded down. Good gas mileage. Excellent car for a student or city driving where a smaller car is a plus.

FIT Can Fit A lot

I loved early generation CR-V’s. I owned both a Gen I and a Gen II, manual, and I loved both of them. Eventually I was ready to get something new, but the price of the 2016 CR-V was a little out of my range and also, they’re ugly now. They used to look like little covered trucks and now they look like mini-vans. My FIT sits a little lower than I like but it has almost the cargo capacity of my CR-V’s. It only costs me $25 per week in gas, with a 30 mile round trip to work 5 days a week. It’s reliable, gets great gas mileage, is a fun color, and is easy to drive. Issues I’ve had: I will say that there is a tiny blind spot on each side of the windshield of this model. It’s only ever been an issue on tight curves and if you’re aware of it you can easily adjust for it. At around 35,000 miles, the electronic Odometer and Fuel Gauge display on the right hand side started malfunctioning when the weather was cold. I had a hard time proving it to my nearest service department at the time, but once I did they replaced it and it’s been working fine.
